Abstract

The Randic index R(G) of a graph G is defined by R(G)=@?"u"v1d(u)d(v), where d(u) is the degree of a vertex u in G and the summation extends over all edges uv of G. In this work, we give a sharp upper bound and a lower bound of the Randic index among connected n-vertex graphs with girth g=k(k=3).
